PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE OF INTENT
NON-COMPETITIVE

Solicitation: HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-NOI-17-388


Title: Two (2) HPLC Pumps and Autosampler with Installation Kit


INTRODUCTION
PURSUANT TO FAR Subpart 5.2-Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions, THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE OF A PROPOSED CONTRACT TO ACTION.


THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NON-COMPETITIVE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A CONTRACT OR PURCHASE ORDER WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME).


The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support Contracts and Simplified Acquisitions Branch (SS/SA) on behalf of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to negotiate and award a contract for the Protein Lipidomics Workflow Manager Software with AB Sciex LLC at 1201 Radio Road, Redwood City, CA 94065-1217.


NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE
The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a Size Standard of 1,000 Employees.


REGULATORY AUTHORITY
The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses of the Federal acquisition Requlation (FAR) in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-95, January 19, 2017.


STATUTORY AUTHORITY


This acquisition is conducted as non-competitive under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c) under provisions of the statutory authority of FAR Subpart 6.302-1 - Only one response source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.


DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT


Project Description
The laboratory of Translation Gerontology Branch (TGB) requires the use of HPLC-DAD system for the analysis of human plasma samples to identify active metabolites and lipids. The new pumps and autosampler will communicate properly with the Lipidomics Workflow Manager module.


Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of this requirement is to purchase new High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) pumps with the corresponding autosampler that will upgrade the already existing HPLC pumps to communicate proplerly with the Lipidomics Workflow Manager Software. There will be a trade in of two (2) existing HPLC pumps and the one (1) autosampler.


Delivery Schedule
The software is to be delivered within 30 days after receipt of order (ARO).


CLOSING STATEMENT
This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice.


Responses to this solicitation must include clear and convincing evidence of the offeror's capability of fulfilling the requirement as it relates to the technical evaluation criteria. The price proposal must include the labor categories, an estimate of the number of hours required for each labor category, fully loaded fixed hourly rate or each labor category, breakdown and rationale for other direct costs or materials, and the total amount.


Salient Characteristics:
HPLC Pump
• The HPLC Pump utilizes micro-volume plungers (10 μL each) for pulse-free HPLC solvent delivery
• The sapphire plunger has a specially engineered ultra-smooth surface which minimizes fictional heat for improved seal lifetime
• An automatic rinse kit is included as a standard accessory
• Flow rate range is 0.0001 to 5.000 mL
• Maximum pressure is 130 MPa (19,000 psi)
•Ideal for low flor rate (<1 mL/min) and LCMS applications
• Analyzes using small particle size columns (3 μm or less) that generate high back pressure


Autosampler with Installation Kit
• Autosampler provides high speed injections (10 sec for 10 μL) with ultra-low carryover achieved through advanced material technology
• Rinse options (if necessary) with up to 4 solvents
• Standard configuration uses the needle in the flow path design for 0.1 to 50 μL injection volumes
• Optional fixed-loop configuration (5 or 20 μL) is user-changeable to reduce delay volume and band broadening in isocratic separations
• Sample compartment uses a Peltier cooler for temperature control from 4 ˚C to 40˚C
• External rinse pump is standard
• Provides additional rinsing to the outer surface of the needle
• Includes 105 position rack for 1.5 (2mL) vials and a control for ten 1.5 (2mL) vials, 1.5 mL vial set, vial sample pack and 2.1 x 50mm, 1.9 μm c18 column and 4-component test mix
• Sample capacity is 175 1 mL vials
• 70 4mL vials
• 2 MTP (STD 96, DW 96, or STD 384)
• Maximum pressure is 130 MPa (19,000 psi)


Delivery or Deliverables:
(2) HPLC Pumps
(1) Autosampler with Installation Kit
There will be a trade in of two (2) existing HPLC pumps and the one (1) autosampler.


In addition the Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS), the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and the certification of business size must be included in the response. All offerors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov."
A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to proceed on a non-competitive basis or to conduct a competitive procurement.


All responses must be received by Friday, July 7, 2017 at 12PM, Eastern Standard Time, and reference number HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-NOI-17-388. Responses may be submitted electronically to Danielle R. Brown, Contract Specialist, at Danielle.brown2@nih.gov and NIDASSSAPurchaseRequ@mail.nih.gov.


Fax responses will not be accepted.
